These Thanksgiving Turkey Snack Bags are perfect for school parties, play dates, long holiday road trips, and most importantly the kids’ table on Turkey Day!
Do you travel for Thanksgiving or do you stay local? We are heading up North back to MN this year and I thought these cute treats would be fun to surprise the boys with these turkey snack bags along the way.
For Michael’s Halloween party we filled the gloves with just popcorn as “Spooky Hands” complete with a spider ring on the ring finger. One was laying the table in a way that resembled the shape of a turkey and I thought “duh!” How many cute turkey crafts have you seen where you use your child’s hand as a turkey! I knew I could make them in snack form also! The colored goldfish were just the ticket!

Supplies Needed for Turkey Snack Bags:
- Clear Plastic Gloves
- Popcorn
- Colored Goldfish Crackers
- Red & Orange Felt (optional)
- Googly eyes (optional)
I just popped one of our favorite 100 calorie snack popcorn bags and when it was cool, I got to work on the turkey snack bags! I filled the four fingers with the colored goldfish. You could also separate colors but I didn’t have time for that! LOL! After that fill the palm and the thumb with popcorn! Tie the glove at the bottom! Voila!
I apparently did have enough time to cut a beak and gaggle out of some felt and glue them on along with a googly eye. In my house, EVERYTHING is better with googly eyes :).
There you have it! Cute little turkey snack bags that are both festive and functional! If you are looking for any other turkey projects, I can offer you my Turkey Napkin Rings and Turkey Place Card Holders! You can also find all my Thanksgiving and Fall projects if you are interested! You might want to make this awesome 3 Ingredient Pumpkin Dip or my Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake! Yum!
These turkey snack bags would be perfect on the kids’ table along with these Thanksgiving Coloring Books from Happiness is Homemade!
Another great activity is this fun Thanksgiving Color Themed Printable Coloring Book!
My Turkey Napkin Rings are also a fan favorite! You could even have all the supplies out and let the kids make some Turkey Magnets while the real turkey cooks!

I know this is a ridiculous question… but where did you buy the gloves? I couldn’t find them at my grocery store. They only had powdered gloves.

LOVE these! Any idea for a popcorn replacement? My oldest has braces and can’t do popcorn. Thanks for the idea!!
Cheryl Spangenberg says
Victoria, they make “puff corn” It tastes just like popcorn but no kernals or shells…kind of like cheeze puffs but popcorn flavored and colored! Maybe try that!

OMG I’m so glad I saw this! We will be flying to AZ for Thanksgiving with our 2 year old daughter and this would definitely keep her occupied for a while.
